The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that the National Energy Board, starting immediately, is making more information about the safety of pipelines it regulates available to the public. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that inspection reports are going to be posted on the NEB's website. NEB vice-president Chris Loewen says the regulator does about 150 of those inspections a year. The NEB was a low-profile agency but it has been registering much higher on the public's radar of late amid controversy over new energy developments. Mr. Loewen says a big consideration has been making sure the reports are not too dense and technical for the general public, so it has been training inspectors in the field to write them in an accessible manner. He says the companies regulated by the NEB have been brought up to speed with the plans, but it is hard to say how enthusiastic they are about it. The reports will be posted on-line within six weeks of an inspection taking place. They will include detailed findings, outcomes and any enforcement action. NEB chairman Peter Watson did a cross-country tour this year with the aim of understanding Canadians' concerns and demystifying the regulator's work.
